Agreed. By this time of the season, all of the wrinkles should be ironed out and injuries compensated for. O'Shea has a LOT of goodwill in the bank in Winnipeg, but even the other very successful coaches in the CFL eventually lost their mojo and had to be replaced. Some of his decisions have been real head-shakers and it seems to me that they have been increasing. I would love to see him shake off his foibles and dazzle us all.

Football and sports in general being what they are, I could live with the Riders winning Saturday, but losing due to O'Shea's insisting in playing inferior players when better ones are on the bench, OR Collaros pulling a disappearing act again will infuriate me as it did the last two Grey Cup games, when the game was winnable but given away. If Collaros chokes again, the rest of the team should help him pack and drive him out to the perimeter.

All these are nice assets but do not compensate for the loss of speed and the poor decision-making he was showing when last on the field. But in the Free Press, he was quoted as if he expected to be the starter in the WSF. Given O'Shea's history of favouring old players over better, newer, younger one, who knows?

Wheatfall is gonna be a star but we need him to be that star NOW.

He is a big asset tot the passing game and blocks very well downfield, but Clercius is a good replacement, just lacks game experience.

Which makes me wonder who is going to age out first- Tui Eli or Kolankowski?

Suspiciously missing from this thread is Tui Eli. He was touted as the center in waiting we have been hoping for and a dominant lineman, yet, apart from the odd outing as the 6th lineman in dire passing or short yardage downs, he has sat a lot. What the heck happened? Did he piss someone off?

Goodbye Boston Celtics?

Riders managed to get very, very lucky. Harris is playing some of the best he have ever played and has been hale since he came back, but I still believe, given his age and history, he is brittle and a couple of solid hits are likely to take him out. Unfortunately, we do not seem to have the homicidal front seven to make that likely.

I think they essentially showcased Adams in the hope of driving up the asking price. don't think it went well.

If the Bombers lose to them in our own stadium, we will never hear the end of it.

And that was that.

And so has his market value.

Reid is done for at least the game. Some sloppy tackling so far. Not enough pressure on Harris. You can Betts on it.

PERFECT!!!

The Fat Lady is on stage.

The loss will be on Dru Brown- he didn't throw 5 TD passes as he ought to have.

Pretty sure that's the game right there.

Why can't it be both?

He may have one protected by a sloping forehead and two inches of bone.

Its one of those mood-changing features.

The problem is that he IS understood by anyone on his team who has a functioning cerebral cortex.

Gotta admit I am impressed how Kelly rebounded after that massive hit. Many QBs would need time to rearrange their internal organs after a hit like that. And sold at Giant Tiger.

Y'know, Ottawa's receivers and O-line are not soiling the bed-linens. Its their defensive backfield.

Dru showing why he was pursued by the RedBlacks.
